10 reasons why Pokémon GO sucks

>linking to poketubers
Fuck off.

Then why is Pokemon GO the most fun I've had with the franchise since RSE?

This dude isn't even a Pokétuber.

>>27371568
Because you're an autist. No offense.

>>27371597
I dunno, not liking Pokemon GO is much more in line with autism to be honest.

>>27371609
Well, I'm sorry that I'm not the kind of person who laughs and claps when keys are shaken in front of my face.

>>27371568
Because you never actually liked the gameplay, moreso liking it as a fad. GO allows you to get that feeling without having to mess with decent gameplay
Congratulations, you're a normie.

>>27371568
Because you feel like you're part of something.

Go is objectively shit. It's barely even a game.

>>27371639
I'm sorry that I'm not an autistic shut-in that's too fat to manage some exercise, too poor to afford a good data plan and scared of human interaction.

>>27371646
If I never liked the gameplay then it's pretty confusing that I've been playing it since 1998.

>Says that his opinions about media are objective facts
Ah, you're a total moron I see. Alright. Also I play it because I enjoy it, not for some sense of community as funny as that notion is.

How do you enjoy tapping a screen over and over as "combat"?

The only thing you actually enjoy is walking around, because your autistic ass needed a "game" to motivate him to do that.

fuck off

so he doesn't like people enjoying pokemon in a way he can't relate to because he's scared of the outside. okay

Another reason it sucks is because women like to act all high and mighty and don't wanna date you when you use the app.

I do enjoy going for walks and do so nearly every day, a habit that predates Pokemon GO by years. It's nice that the app fits in to my existing lifestyle so well and it's neat that it encourages me to take alternative routes which has lead to some fun discoveries.

With Pokemon at the moment I'm just waiting on Sun and Moon to come out since aside from Volcanion my living Pokedex is complete and I have nothing to collect. Pokemon GO has given me a new Pokedex to complete and doing it is a new experience compared to doing it in the games which is refreshing.

The combat is simplistic but factors into the structure of the game pretty well. Traditional Pokemon battling has never been the draw to the series either due to how simple it is. In the games you barely have to employ a strategy beyond the rock/paper/scissors of the types. Sure there's competitive play but if you're going to take the time to learn a competitive game at a high level there are more complex and interesting games out there than Pokemon battling whose best competitive scenes rely on fan rules to fudge things.

>going outside and socializing
>autism

pick one

It's still a shit game and a huge disappointment.

It could've had trading, PVP, and the actual combat system but instead we got a glorified pokedex app.

Don't defend this shit.

>>27371998
Socialization is not inherently a part of Pokemon Go.

>>27372016

It's one of the first games of its kind, so it has little competition.

You're right that it's basically just a Pokedex, but apparently that's what people want. Keep in mind the original goal of Pokemon was to "catch 'em all". Pokemon GO is by definition a collector's game. Everything else is just tacked on to add some minor depth, even if it's entirely pointless and doesn't really serve a goal other than to brag to a friend that you have a top percentage Rattata or whatever.

Pokemon GO has a laundry list of issues, but really we've witnessed the birth of a new genre, and I'd bet money that serious mobile game developers are already working on clones and ripoffs as we speak.

The game is developed in such a way that it encourages socializing. Things like pokestops, lures, gyms and the different teams all facilitate that. You aren't forced to deal with other people, but if you walk through a big city playing Pokemon GO and never talk to anyone or no one talks to you, you either have bad hygiene, are a huge autist/fedoralord or you're intentionally avoiding social contact.

If you mention that you frequent /vp/ I'm sure they'll change their minds
